Most Christians were never taught how to read the Bible—they were taught how to use it.

In this episode of the Barely Believing Podcast, we argue that the Bible is not primarily a rulebook, self-help guide, or list of moral demands. From Genesis to Revelation, Scripture is a unified story of God’s faithfulness to people who repeatedly fail to be faithful to Him.

If reading the Bible has ever felt confusing, discouraging, or disconnected from real life, this episode offers a necessary reset. We explore how misunderstanding the purpose of Scripture distorts our view of God, fuels guilt-based faith, and causes many to quietly walk away from Christianity.

This conversation reframes how to read the Bible—not by lowering its authority, but by taking its message seriously: a faithful God pursuing broken people.

📖 Topics include:
• How we were taught to read the Bible
• Why Scripture feels frustrating to so many believers
• The Bible as God’s story, not ours
• What changes when faith is built on God’s faithfulness
